First concert and favorite concert
OK, let's name the first concert we ever attended and also the best concert we ever saw. Include year and venue if you can. I'll start.
First: The Monkees, Boston Garden, 1967 Favorite: The Doors, Boston Arena, 1970 If ties are allowed, the Wings Over America tour in Atlanta in 1976 would be a tie with the Doors, basically because, to my undying regret, I never got to see the Beatles. My parents didn't want to take me to see them at Suffolk Downs in 1966 and said I was too young for them to just drop me off and pick me up there. But yet *one year later* in 1967, at the ripe old age of 11, they decided I was old enough to see the Monkees!

Brooklyn Bridge was very good but my all time favorite was Harry Chapin still love his music today. Cats Cradle is his most commonly played song but he did many that were much better especially Taxi. |

You don't mean Wayne County and the Electric Chairs, do you? I've always loved that first Vanilla Fudge album. I also got The Beat Goes On, their second album. Didn't care much for the later albums though. They were on the prog cruise I was on a couple of years ago. I'd see Vince Martell and Mark Stein around the ship a lot and chatted with them. Vince was particularly cool. I'm glad they're still around and touring. Come to think of it, like Genesis, they're one of the few 60s/70s bands where all members are still alive. But Vince told me Tim Bogert retired a while ago. Holy WTF---I just checked the internet for the spelling of Bogert's last name and it turns out he just died in January.

18 July 1974 - Eric Clapton & His Band
Saw this with my older brother and cousin who is a double cousin as sisters married brothers. This is the first. Favorite was probably BB King in a small room in a Reno, Nevada casino for the price of two drinks. I could literally have touched him on stage if I had stretched out. This was around 1982 or thereabouts. |

First concert was Elton John. Best concert was a different Elton John concert. A really bad storm made the electric go out. It did not stop him from continuing to play and sing. He had everyone on their feet and joining in.
Harry Chapin would come into a bar that I occasionally went to. Sometimes he would sing. A nice memory. |

First concert was .38 Special at the Midsouth Coliseum sometime in 1982. Was stationed in Memphis and we were hired for stage security.
Best concert was probably the Eagles at the Rose Bowl somewhere around 1994.
